The district administration in Jalandhar has announced a half-day holiday on January 2. As a result, schools and colleges in the city will remain closed. According to reports, a Nagar Kirtan will be organized from Gurdwara Diwan Asthan in Central Town on January 2, dedicated to Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. This prompted the issuance of the holiday orders.
The half-day holiday has been declared for both government and private schools/colleges after noon, considering the celebration of the sacred Prakash Parv of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj, as well as public sentiment, religious faith, and the convenience and safety of school/college students.
